~~ More Beginnings ~~

(2nd
Edition)

by Iris Blobel

Zach Taylor, an
escort in Sydney, living in Hobart, enlists the help of Natasha Peterson when
his teenage friend, Mia, runs away. He soon finds out that the ‘dragon’ is
really more of a kitten. And although Natasha, Mia’s teacher, is attracted to
him as well, she has her own problems to deal with, not to mention her initial
reaction to Zach’s occupation.

Will Zach’s job
keep him from a chance to be with Natasha?

Life is good for teenager Mia Levesque. But when
Darren Schuster shows up in Hobart, she knows something is up once Sophie and
Mark cut their weekend away short and rush home in the middle of the night.
When Sophie won’t answer Mia’s questions, emotions run high, and Zach confirms
Darren’s identity to Mia. Disappointed, angry, and feeling alone, Mia runs away.

Will life
settle back into a routine for Mia once she finds out about the stranger in her
life?

New Beginnings
have given the Levesque girls a new start in life, will More Beginnings be
another chance for them?

Zach Taylor’s
young neighbour, Mia, let out a long sigh as she joined him on his front porch
and sat next to him on the swing. Enjoying a cool lemonade, he invited her to
grab a soft drink from the fridge as well. It was a warm summer day, and the
air showed no sign of cooling down. A lot of people in Hobart were weary of the
unusual hot spell for the very southern Australian city.

With another
hefty sigh, Mia raked through her long, blond hair and stared into the distance. “Honestly, Zach, she’s a dragon. I’m sure she does it on purpose. She doesn’t
like me. She thinks I’m spoilt.”

The dragon in questionwas Miss Peterson,
Mia’s high school English teacher. There was no doubt that Mia liked school,
and she enjoyed her classes. And even though English wasn’t her worst subject,
it certainly was the toughest one, with Miss Peterson piling on homework one
after the other.

Zach took a sip
of his drink before he replied, “Hey, pumpkin, settle down. What’s that
supposed to mean you’re ‘spoilt’?”

She lifted her
shoulder in a slight shrug. “You know!”

Raising his
brows, he replied, “Actually I don’t know! Isn’t she Sophie’s good friend?”

Another shrug.
“Kind of, I suppose. They used to do the boxing stuff together, and since
Soph’s carrying a baby, they go and enjoy coffee and cake instead every once in
a while.”

Ignoring his
chuckle, she went inside and helped herself to cold lemonade. She opened the
can with a simple click as she returned outside and took a long sip.
